The Trx Suspension Trainer Really Works!

The TRX is a great strength training tool and program you can use at home and some gyms offer classes with it, too. It looks like resistance bands but isn't stretchy; it allows you to strength-train using your own body weight in a variety of ways. It hooks to a door, tree or other secure pole.

More Information:

It comes with DVDs, workout cards and great instructions. You can modify every exercise to fit your level, beginning or advanced, and all of the exercises work your core and really challenge your body in unique ways. You can work every major muscle group and adjust it easily. www.fitnessanywhere.com

TRX is a great functional and portable workout system. I initially bought with the intent to use it while I travel but found it to be so effective that use it at home in place of my normal weight lifting workouts. I think it is more effective than free weights for many exercises.

Thanks to you and your review I began using the TRX. I am getting amazing results! My strength is really improving, I have increased flexibility. I don't know what I would do without it.There is a Spark Team here for TRX users (TRX Users Unite) and the TRX and this team have changed the way I look at exercise forever. Thanks for taking the time to review this!

I am very impressed by the TRX suspension system. I can control the difficulty level. Adding this to my cardio has helped me stay motivated and increase my weight loss. I can really see the difference when I take my measurements. I am using the TRX system at our YMCA and am the only person in the class. My instructor said most people aren't taking the class because it appears different and intimidating. My son is a certified personal trainer and assistant manager at a large fitness center in the Chicago area. He would like to see the TRX system in his fitness center. Our birthdays are 3 days apart so I am buying one for him and he is buying one for me! My question for Spark People: I see the advertisement on this site daily but TRX is not listed in the exercise section and I have no way of knowing how much energy I am using or even to post my specific TRX exercises on my fitness site.
